Questão jurídica principal
Which canton was competent to tax the liquidation surplus of the real-estate company after the spouses moved domicile?
Decisão extraída
The liquidation surplus was acquired only at the end of the lawful liquidation, at the earliest in July 1999; therefore Vaud, where the spouses were domiciled then, had taxing competence.
Fundamentação extraída
Under company law, the shareholder's liquidation claim crystallizes only when liquidation is completed, after creditor protection and expiry of the statutory period. The 2 March 1999 property transfer did not yet constitute definitive receipt of the liquidation surplus.
